Recensioni di Freedom Planet 2

Ok I'm gonna start with one sentence: Freedom Planet 2 is the best game I've played this year and I could easily give it a 10/10 Could end the review with that, but if you're thinking I'm joking or something or you're not convinced, well sit down, relax and let me explain why this game is so important to me: INTRODUCTION: Let's start with this: there is just no compareson with the first Freedom Planet, yes it's still a good game, but the sequel just overshadowed it completly in every feature. I need to remind you that the firts game was after all a solid Sonic fan game that gained his own identity and you can't deny that. This formula of taking inspirations from bigger franchises or creating spiritual sucsessors of our favourite games when the original creators are not willing to, as been used now more than ever to preserve good game design and artistic freedom and (when done well) can create true masterpieces and fix the hissues of the original proprietys. What FP2 did was cleaning up the dust from it's firts game and rebuild a totally new and original experience, detatching itself from the Sonic series wile still mantaining what made the game so good in the first place and did so much more. GAMEPLAY: The gameplay is fast, clean and fun! Every stage has it's own mechanics and all the 4 playable characters can provide new game experiences and the replay value is at his core! First thing they did was cleaning up the annoying parts of the firts game. The movement for Lilac for example feels much more fun, now the spin attack does not cost power so you can use it in combo with the charge attack and the collectibles are no longer like... 10 per level?! But just 1 or 2, because the devs understand that in a game where you need to go fast, the SLOW exploration can feel lame at some point. But don't get me wrong you still have a lot to collect in other fun ways. The first game was linear, a simple experience, this game have an overworld map, towns, NPCs, minigames, challenge modes and FINALLY a ranching sistem so you can have fun getting rank S for every stage in game. There are also items to equip, but I rarely use them cuz they take a way a bit of the final reward, but you can equip an hourglass to race against time and hearn extra cash for finishing the level before the timer runs out, super fun to play. STORY: Will be short to avoid spoilers, the first game got an average story that tryed to get cool at the end, but was nothing more than... the power of friendship against evil alien dude, that was good for a game like that, but the sequel got REAL!! You got world bulding, drama, relationships, betrayal, fun shenes, very sad shenes and jsut something that will make you feel so fulfilled at the end of it, plus a secret ending if you can get it (it's worth it). ART: Yeah the art in the first game was good, but a bit silly and I wasn't really convinced about any character that wasn't Lilac or Carol and yeah was still too similar to Sonic... This game owever changed the art completly and it's one of the amin reason why it feels so original. Every character EVEN THE NPC are fully animated and every stage filled with detail. Really nailed it this tme! MUSIC: The music is just great, not much to say about it, not an expert in music, but it fit the stages very well soooo yeah! DUBBING: Now the cherry on the top, the first game was already dubbed and that was impressive for an indie game like that, but with this? GOD! It is so well done! Every characters they played at was perfectly delivered expecially Lilac, Merga and Cordelia. I can say in some shenes I was at the edge of crying for that and you guys get all my respect for it. IN CONCLUSION: FP2 is how you make a good sequel, and I mean sequel! Not like we call it XXXXX 2 and then is a prequel or some kind of AU or whatever, I mean sequel sequel and all game devs big and small should take example. Can't wait for FP3, IF there's gonna be one (I hope so). wait... I should add some cons as well or people will think I'm just being a fanboy... OK CONS: That mech stage was trash why did you guys think that was a good idea!

This game is fantastic. The art-style is beautiful with a lot of colours and syncing cutscenes with the character’s speech. The gameplay is like the older game Sof Sonic, momentum based but also very fast, with a simplistic but relatively fun combat system. The story is nothing impressive, but they manage to merge all of the likeable characters in one big story. Recommend 8/10 fun but simplistic.

Freedom Planet 2. E mo' cos'è, vi chiederete? Beh, molto semplice: Freedom Planet 2 è il sequel di Freedom Planet, e segue le avventure di Lilac, Carol e Milla, più Neera, tre anni dopo gli eventi del primo gioco. Da dove cominciare? [h1] Quattro personaggi? Non male per iniziare il punto del Gameplay [/h1] Il gameplay è simile al primo Freedom Planet, ma con cambiamenti. In primis, il gioco ad alcuni punti chiederà quale punto della storia scegliere (e completate tutte e tre, si continua). Secondo, sono i personaggi: [b] Sash Lilac [/b] Il gameplay di Lilac non è cambiato molto. Tuttavia, il dragon boost è cancellabile, il che apre nuove opportunità per combattere i nemici (ed anche per fare qualche manovre). [b] Carol Tea [/b] Carol ha ricevuto diversi cambiamenti. In primis, al posto del Wild Kick, ora Carol possiede un Jump Disc, che gli permette di andare in punti dove non ci sono muri. Il Jump Disc inoltre permetterà a Carol di conservare la sua motocicletta, così da poterla sfoderare in certe situazione dove è necessario. [b] Milla Basset [/b] Rispetto alle altre due eroine, Milla ha ricevuto cambiamenti utili. Non più si dovrà caricare per un Phantom Cube: ora Milla è capace di attacchi corpo a corpo, e sparare proiettili se si ha un phantom cube (che appare premendo il tasto per il "Guard"). Inoltre, Milla ha ora due punti vita in più rispetto al gioco originale. [b] Neera Li [/b] Ebbene sì: il miniboss del primo gioco è diventato un personaggio giocabile. Neera è leggermente più lenta rispetto al trio, ma fa danni abbastanza forti, e possiede un doppio salto. Oltre a ciò, difendersi permette a Neera di entrare in uno stato di Focus, il che aumenta la velocità dei suoi attacchi. Tutti e quattro i personaggi di gioco possiedono inoltre la possibilità di alzare la guardia, in modo da poter parare, riflettere o schivare gli attacchi nemici (Milla genererà anche un Phantom Cube, Neera entrerà in stato di Focus, e Lilac farà un dash corto se la schivata ha successo) [h1] Grafica e soundtrack di gioco... Tutto qui [/h1] La grafica del gioco è migliorata un sacco, rispetto al primo Freedom Planet. Più dettagli e scenari migliorati. Inoltre la soundtrack del gioco è molto buona. [h1] Momento Spoileroso [/h1] Rispetto al primo gioco, gli eventi di questo gioco cambiano leggermente a seconda del personaggio scelto. Tuttavia, in sintesi, e qui spoiler pesanti: [spoiler] Merga, il cattivo del gioco, vuole vendicare il genocidio che gli earth dragon hanno causato contro i water dragon; Aaa, Askal, Corazon Tea e Captain Kalaw lavorano per conto di Merga, per un motivo diverso tra loro (Aaa vuole amici, Askal vuole aiutare Merga per rimediare ai crimini commessi dagli earth dragon, Corazon vuole che Merga risparmi la vita di Carol, e Captain Kalaw vuole essere un vero eroe); Serpentine vuole che Milla tradisca i suoi amici, in quanto essa proviene dallo stesso pianeta di Brevon; e si scopre che Magister è un'earth dragon. [/spoiler] [h1] Note Dolenti [/h1] Il gioco ha qualche bug e glitch, e gli sviluppatori sono al corrente di ciò. Tuttavia, un fattore pesante, è il fatto che la modalità classica non è disponibile, fino a che non si completa la modalità avventura. Per molti non è un problema, ma per il resto che preferisce non sorbirsi la storia, è abbastanza significante. [h1] è tempo di stampare la conclusione [/h1] In conclusione: Freedom Planet 2 è un buon gioco. Abbastanza solido, ma buono comunque. Consiglio anche il primo gioco, per capire meglio alcuni punti.

Spectacular sequel. I love that they took their time and packed this absoulte masterpiece. I enjoyed every part of it. Waiting so long and being able to live an evolved world of Avalice felt like being at home. Pretty much everything improved from the first chapter I'd say. The art style is just gorgeous, even a lot of NPCs seem to be important character for how much personality the style gives to them. The music is fantastic as well, I listen to it while working from time to time. Not to say that is a perfect game, but I couldn't point out any major flaws, and my first playthrough in the story was one of my best experiences in the last years (but it was also due to the fact that I loved the world and character and was curious to know how the story went). It's simple, immediate to play, stylish, cool story, amazing characters (which clearly you enjoy a lot more if you played the first, although it's still enjoyable as the focus is the gameplay), and most important very fun to play. Playstyle is very different depending on the character, but at least for me everyone is fun to play with
